The Rockland Public Library, in collaboration with POV by PBS, will present a documentary screening on Thursday, Sept. 25, at 6 p.m. This event is free and open to all.  

Residents of Sunset Park, Brooklyn face rising rents, a legacy of environmental racism and the loss of the industrial jobs that once sustained their community. When a global developer purchases a massive industrial complex on the waterfront and lays plans for an “innovation district,” a battle erupts over the future of the neighborhood and of New York City itself. Co-produced with ITVS. 

Emergent City is a film by Kelly Anderson, Jay Arthur Sterrenberg, and Brenda Avila-Hanna. This event is a collaboration with the award-winning documentary series POV (www.pbs.org/pov). 

This event will take place in the Community Room and will be livestreamed via Zoom. For more information or for Zoom links, please email elewis@rocklandmaine.gov.

The Rockland Public Library is located at 80 Union Street.
